Molly Champlin

Molly Champlin is an artist and educator whose abstract paintings activate the boundaries of the virtual and the real, of human and machine. With a distinct style that incorporates glitches, abstraction, and a painterly devotion to light and color, Champlin delves into the metaphysical traces that linger in both digital and physical landscapes, exploring the consequences of dromology, that is the world and reality as resultant of velocity.

Champlin has exhibited in group shows across the Bay Area, Los Angeles, and internationally in Japan. She received the Kleefeld Scholarship, the Nell O. Fog Endowed Scholarship, and the Cal Alumni Association Leadership Award. She holds a BA in English from the University of California, Berkeley, and an MFA in Drawing and Painting from California State University, Long Beach. She teaches at Cal State Long Beach and lives in the San Gabriel Valley.
